Changing the "Sony Ericsson" Logo - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone please tell me which directory or APK that the "Sony Ericsson" logo, the one that shows prior to the boot animation, is located?

It's located in the boot.img and can be changed with some work. Doomlord posted a how to in the arc section as far as i remember and also linked to it in a thread here in the play section. It was in a thread startd by Androhero about boot anim and splashscreen.
Ohh and the logo is called 'splashscreen'
You'll need an unlocked bootloader to do this
Regards Dousan...

Cool, thanks!
I already have my bootloader unlocked, but I don't like the splash screen that came with DooMLord's custom kernel in the boot.img. I want to change it to something else to my own liking. ;P

So, I was able to unpack the boot.img, but what do I name my converted .rle image to so that it's recognized and shows on startup?

I don't fully understand. Do you want this for phone bootup, instead of the Xperia-Thingy?

no, this is a boot screen, it is instead of the "sony ericsson" thingy.
Polaris has one too

Okay, so it should be right there when you turn on the phone just instead of the logo? Are you aware of the fact that animation is not possible at this stage, so it would have to be a still image? If that's what you want, I might create it for you.

I think thats what he is looking for. In the quoted thread is a boot image, too. No animation.
I like the idea of such a bootscreen .
Okay, I'll do it for ya. DO you want HTC Logo or SE Logo or both or none?

Yo this is for you. Unpack and put in \Windows\ folder, replacing the existing file (Use Resco Explorer for this). Make sure you have a backup of the original.

I "developed" it for R2A official ROM. Not sure about your ROM. I haven't even tried it on my phone myself. What do you see when you boot your phone (Directly at the beginning!)? SE logo?
As far as I know you have to add your boot screen (green se logo on default) to your Rom *.nbh file before you flash ist.
With a simple file replacement you can change the green windows boot/ welcome screen. Look in the splash screen thread from gtrap . I think I'll replace the windows one with the bios splash. easier^^

I see your point but you're wrong. ActiveSync and normal file explorer will prevent you from replacing the fiel because it's "part of the ROM". But that's just a sort of file attribute, like read-only. Using Resco Explorer you can easily replace it. I think the other ROM just has the pic remapped to another location or something. But of course you can use it instead of the Windows Picture if you like. But I think this one's PNG and probably the size is different, so just make sure you adjust this. Otherwise it's no problem, it's just not very logical to show BIOS info when the phone has already booted (Almost)
Thank you very much for your help, but this is not what i've requested, i want one for XPERIA just like the one for Touch HD (link in the first post), and yes it is a *nbh that you have to flash, and it replaces the SE logo bootscreen(the first thing that shows up on your phone when you switch it on) not the green windows mobile.

Okay, it really seems to be the case.. But no idea why it is this way.

because it really is part of the bootloader, ie the bit the loads the operating system..
So if you copy across a file to /windows it wouldn't be accessible till the OS loads.
here's the linky to DIY it

Hi,
Just to confirm what I am reading, this is just a .bmp replacement for the boot screen correct? It does not actually show the radio, ram, memory, ROM version, etc that is read from the device like a regular bios boot screen?
thanks

[Q] Splash Screen

Hey I need help locating where the Rogers splash screen logo is. I unpacked the kernel and looked through it but there were no .rle files in it. I also unpacked a custom kernel that I downloaded form here and still found nothing. The phone is awesome there's nothing else in it, that's all that's left for it to be debranded.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
i think its /system/media/bootanimation.zip
No, he is no talking about the boot animation, he is talking about the boot logo.
Anyway, I also have interest on this, if any dev (Maybe dman) could help us out, I would be really thankful.
Likewise, if I could change to either a blank screen or a Samsung logo, you would not be able to tell it's a ROGERS phone. For such a small phone, it packs a punch!

That's exactly what I would like to do, Samsung Boot Logo, and, maybe Galaxy Nexus Boot Animation, or even no Boot Animation at all XD
i have tried almost everything i know, but its pretty different with phone, usually its in boot.img but i dont have a boot.img and the stock rom i have dont have it included. i also tried the kernel but no luck there.. or i maybe doing it all wrong! any help?????
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659584
I'm just going to wait until the dev releases the new version with this:
Automatic script to change boot splash in a kernel with your favourite png file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Or maybe when ICS it's released I'll just use a Linux USB with "Save" option, and do the whole f*cking process XD
But, if somebody have the time, and want to try this out now, let me suggest a Samsung Logo, white letters, and black background, simple and classic.
bump anyone?
please help. im looking to remove the rogers logo too. i need to know in which partition its in. help please! ^_^

[BOOTLOGOS][N/A REMOVED] reCoded's Moto G4 Plus Boot Logo Pack

reCoded's Moto G4 Plus Boot Logo Pack​
Hey Moto G4 Plus users! You may know the unlocked bootloader screen and it's quite annoying to see. Well, I created these boot logos and they hide the n/a text from the boot screen! Another thing is, these boot logos use the new "Powered by Android" logo at the bottom which all 2017 phones are starting to get.
How to install
Fastboot (.bin)
First, you need to boot into the bootloader. (Power off, hold power and volume down)
Plug the phone to your computer.
Put the boot logo file that you downloaded into your fastboot folder. (Example: BlackCircleMoto.bin)
Setup fastboot and type "fastboot devices" and make sure your phone shows up.
If your phone shows up then type "fastboot flash logo logo.bin" (Replace logo.bin with the boot logo file you downloaded. Example: BlackCircleMoto.bin)
If everything goes well, you can type "fastboot reboot"
Flashable (.zip)
Just flash it in the recovery. It's that easy!
Downloads
Download the pack: http://bit.ly/rCMotoBootLogos
You will find files with the same names as these located down below:
Android
BlackCircleMoto
MotoClassic
MotoWords
Google
Lineage
LineageWhite
NougatN
OreoO
They are in the same order as the attached pictures so you can figure out which ones are which.

Uploaded it already!!! You are best man!
Would love one with the Moto logo and "powered by Lineage" underneath. Great work anyway EDIT: Actually decided to create one myself, and just in case someones wondering here's the link to it
Amazing! I did the Google.bin through fastboot on my Moto G4 Plus and it worked amazingly! Thanks a lot for this! Now my phone is a bit more fancy!
:fingers-crossed:
OP Thank You
OP
Thank you Very Much for the Boot Logo's.
They are Greatly appreciated and they are ones that work for me.
I like darker ones that do not drain my battery.
I have been digging a lot lately trying to figure out how to make my own.
I have a 2 pictures I think others would like too.
They are just pictures I found on the web that represent Freedom and Adventure to me, I have tried to get them to work but with no luck.
2 attached
Thank you again.

Edit: I found my answer finally after days of searching, it was right in front of me.

I don't know, but I've asked Google and found this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/customized-logo-t3451349/post68445029. It's for Moto though, but it may be same / similar on Huawei.
Thanks ...but hummm...its a .bin file...and have to do it with adb..... beeing a bin file ,not shure to play with that:silly:
ive launched some searches in all root part and found nothing interesting...compared to bootanimations (that can be found in maybe 4-5 different folder ) hehehe
